Course Overview:
The course in Welding Inspection has specialized knowledge about factors that influence the quality of welds in steels, the methods of welding, and the methods of inspection.
Inspected welds will be assessed using destructive and non-destructive methods (NDT) and manufacturing materials for welding operations will be checked for complying with specified requirements.
Moreover, the course describes the requirements for the welding procedure specification (WPS) and welder qualification.
It equips them for vital roles in welding inspection such as obtaining the American Welding Society (AWS-CWI) or CSWIP Welding Inspector qualification.
Moreover, the program solves questions about welding defects, residual stresses in welds, weldments, heat treatment processes, and welding safety taking into account practice of such industries as petrochemical, oil & gas, and engineering..
Course Objectives:
- To understand factors which influence the quality of arc welds in steels
- To recognize characteristics of commonly used welding processes in relation to quality control
- To interpret drawing instructions and symbols to ensure that specifications are met
- To set up and report on inspection of welds, microsections and other mechanical tests
- To assess and report on welds to acceptance levels
- To confirm that incoming material meets stipulated requirements and recognize the effects on weld quality of departure from specification
- To be in a position to pass the Welding Inspector examinations
Who Should Attend?
Fresh as well as experienced, Mechanical, Production, Metallurgical &, chemical engineers Science graduates seeking complete understanding and knowledge of process piping, welding, metallurgy fundamentals &, NDT. It is valuable especially for fresh engineers seeking immediate positions as Q/C &, Piping Engineer in Petrochemical, Engineering, Oil &, Gas industries with knowledge of international codes. This course also prepares those engineers looking forward to acquiring the American Welding Society (AWS-CWI) Qualification or CSWIP Welding Inspector qualification.
